The College of The Bahamas is committed to preparing students
to become productive and thoughtful citizens by oering a broad
liberal arts education coupled with the development of competencies in elds of interest. The College, through its curricular and
extracurricular programmes, encourages students to think critically
and creatively and to express their thoughts in an articulate and
literate manner.
Bachelor Degree Programmes

Bachelor degree programmes provide disciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches to the pursuit of knowledge and the solving
of problems. They are designed to build the students capacity to
respond to multiple perspectives in an ever-changing world and
embrace a greater sense of national identity and their responsibilities as citizens of The Bahamas, the region and the world.
Bachelor degree programmes at The College consist of three
main types of courses: General Education courses, electives
and major area courses. To fulll requirements for a bachelor
degree, students must complete all of the courses identied on a
programme of study and must maintain a minimum cumulative
GPA of at least 2.00.
Minor Programmes
A minor enhances the professional prole of students and
increases their career opportunities and opportunities for further
studies. Minors are available to bachelor degree students only;
however, professional programmes (for example, Education or
Nursing) which lead to certication or licensure may prohibit the
pursuit of a minor. A minor allows students to explore an area of
general interest and consists of a pre-dened sequence of courses
that takes a student well beyond the introductory level in an
academic eld, subject matter and/or discipline.
General Education Programme

The General Education programme cultivates critical, reective and
creative thought and helps students convey those thoughts articulately and condently in written and oral form. The programme
is designed to help students develop an appreciation for the
complexity of all knowledge, an understanding of the interrelationships among the various disciplinary branches of knowledge
and insight into the role they must play in the intellectual, cultural,
social and economic life of The Bahamas and the region.
In addition to helping students examine Bahamian culture, society
and/or environment, General Education courses contain at least
two of the following components:
Interdisciplinary/Multidisciplinary: integrating knowledge,
languages and methodologies across the disciplines.
Literacy: honing of oral and written communication skills, critical
thinking and problem solving.
Numeracy: mastery of analytic and computational skills.
To fulll the General Education requirement for a bachelor degree,
students complete a minimum of 37 credits, at least 28 of which
are at the lower level and 9 at the upper level. To fulll the General
Education requirement for an associate degree, students complete
a minimum of 28 lower-level credits.
Skills are honed through nine strands: Literacy, Numeracy,
Foreign Language, Humanities, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences,
Physical Education/Health/Nutrition, Computer Literacy and
Student Development. Courses that may be used to fulll General
Education requirements are:
Students may not pursue two minors and may not pursue a minor
in their major area of study. Minors are taken instead of electives.
